Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer CHF 260'784 to pay you CHF 2'210'000. In other words, every time you spend CHF 10 of your hard-earned money, CHF 4.92 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
44.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 37.4% tax rate now rises to 44.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 6.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make CHF 2'210'000 a year living in the region of Glarus, Switzerland, you will be taxed CHF 827'617. That means that your net pay will be CHF 1'382'384 per year, or CHF 115'199 per month. Your average tax rate is 37.5% and your marginal tax rate is 37.5%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of CHF 100 in your salary will be taxed CHF 37.50, hence, your net pay will only increase by CHF 62.50.
